Avoid using the informal contraction in very formal writing; use 'gibt es' instead.

Do not add an article before the noun when using 'gibt es' because the verb already implies existence.
Da drüben gibt's Gepäckwagen, obwohl es nicht zu sehen ist.
Make sure 'drüben' refers to a location that is visible or reachable; otherwise use 'hier' or 'dort'.

In German-speaking airports and train stations, luggage carts are usually free to use, but some places ask for a small deposit that you get back when you return the cart. Pointing with your hand while saying "Da drüben" makes the instruction clearer and is considered polite.
